Metal Building Quote

[CabezaBlanca]

I have 4,800 sq ft of concrete with 3,200 sq ft of building (16') and 1,600 sq ft of porch. Including roll up doors, walk thru doors, windows and building insulation I'm under $21 a sq ft. The slab alone cost $38,400, or $8 a foot. I know there are many variables but your price sure seems high and it doesn't even include insulation.

To high.


And yes you can save money doing a barndo over a stick house. GC it yourself get your own subs and do a little work yourself and there is plenty of money to be saved.

You could do the same with a brick home...

That is about twice what it cost me.

i just had a 40 x 100, 40 x 60 x 12 attached to 40 x 40 x 14 with three 12 x 12 rollup doors and 3 walkthroughs put up for $100,000 for concrete and buildings. I did about 15,000 in dirt work to get the pad ready before. I can text a pic to someone to post if you would like to see. they are currently spraying texture on the sheetrock in the house part.

I'm more interested in who did the work....lol

For you guys that are saying it is high, can you post up who you used for your metal building? From what I have read, all metal buildings are pretty much rated for 120 MPH winds, which is what I need for zone 1.

Hahn's construction out of Fayetteville did mine but he is a long way from Aransas pass

Seems a bit high. When I was shopping for ours an unfinished insulated was going per sf for upper teens with no slab/plumbing to low/mid twenties with slab & plumbing.

hey guys, I am new to this forum but have been on the Texas Hunting Forum for a few years. I am a metal building builder in Central TX. I am currently doing a 50x80x16 with a 15x80 lean to insulated, 5 coil up doors and 3 walk doors for a THF member for under 100k. Spray foam insulation is about the same price as the R13 4" vinyl backed insulation you normally see in a shop. Now you don't want to use the spray foam in a shop unless you plan to cover it or spray with a fire retardant. Now there are a lot of variables to look at when doing a building near the coast, one of the main ones is wind. I am not only talking about wind rating, but delays in building due to high winds. I have lost nearly a week on the building I am doing right now due to wind and I am not even at the coast. Even still $40 a foot is way too high.

Would you want to bid for the metal building? Zone 1 is 120 MPH so as long as the metal building HD rated for that it will pass windstorm.

I met with a builder last night for the third time to finalize a plan. 42'x76' slab, 42'x66' under roof with a 10'x40' front porch and a 20' lean to in the back. 12' eaves and a loft which is 40'x20'. He told me to expect $60-$65/sqft finished out. Spray foam insulation throughout. Shop in back is 22'x42'. Two bedrooms three baths. Waiting on the formal quote so we shall see...
